Teaching and Learning Series: Beyond 'Add and Stir': Engaging Diversity in College Classrooms

Face to Face Teaching and Learning Series: Beyond 'Add and Stir': Engaging Diversity in College Classrooms

05/31/2012

It is increasingly important to support students' capacity to interact and communicate effectively in diverse environments. Every classroom provides opportunities for students to benefit from engaging diverse perspectives. Yet, research is clear that these benefits do not accrue without intentional facilitation. This keynote will support teachers' capacity to integrate diversity as an always present resource and a critical learning outcome across the curriculum.

Drawing on research, case studies, and personal experience, this discussion will focus on:
- How do we conceptualize diversity and why does it matter?
- How can we design, implement, and reflect upon opportunities to engage diversity in our classrooms?
- What classroom strategies support students intercultural development?
- How do we productively engage tensions associated with interactions in diverse learning environments?
